This book is a valuable insight into the life and work of Joseph A.
Schumpeter. Bringing together an extensive collection of his
essays, Arnold Heertje provides an overview of Schumpeter's life,
his work and methodological approach. Schumpeter's vision of the
role of the state and the capitalist system is thoroughly analysed
by the author, who goes on to track the changing interpretation of
Schumpeter's grand vision on the capitalist system through time. He
also examines Schumpeter's ideas on technical change, innovation
and economic growth and discusses neo-Schumpeterians and economic
theory. Schumpeter on the Economics of Innovation and the
Development of Capitalism will appeal to academics, students and
scholars interested in an in-depth study of the great economist.
Analytical Transport Economics opens with a critical examination
and overview of the scope of transport economics. Next, the
production of transport, travel demand, transport externalities and
transport markets are thoroughly analysed. The distinguished group
of contributors then examine transport policy, both regarding
infrastructure and transport markets. Specific attention is paid to
the role of government after deregulation and to the transport
policy of the European Union. Transport infrastructure is also
analysed in view of its effects on the wider economy. Finally, the
role of transport in a number of more specific situations is
considered, that is in an urban environment, in transitional
economies and in developing economies. This book is a considerably
revised version of the well-received European Transport Economics
(1993), described as 'A book every transport scientist should have
in his possession' - Professor Eddy Van de Voorde, University of
Antwerp, Belgium. There are a number of new chapters, a few that
had lost their usefulness over time have been omitted, and others
have been thoroughly revised and updated. With its strong
international focus, academics and advanced students of economics,
transport economics and public policy as well as policymakers
within government and private enterprise will find this book
essential reading.
Pieter Hennipman, the leading Dutch economist of the post-war
period, made many substantial contributions to economic policy,
welfare economics and, latterly, the methodology and history of
economic thought during a long and distinguished career.Welfare
Economics and the Theory of Economic Policy brings together a key
selection of Professor Hennipman's papers - many of which have not
been published in English before - which express his profound
analysis of the theory of economic policy and his masterful
discussion of its definition, character and scope. The pioneering
work featured here developed his argument that normative economic
statements and economic policies can be analysed scientifically and
evaluated with the use of objective criteria. Prominent among these
papers are the contributions to welfare economics and Pieter
Hennipman's examination of the transition from the view that
welfare was exclusively dependent on production to one which saw it
as a subjective phenomenon dependent upon consumption. This volume
also includes his rigorous and insightful essays on the history of
the theory of welfare economics. With a thorough introduction by
Donald Walker, this comprehensive volume will improve access to
Professor Hennipman's outstanding contributions on the nature of
the theory of economic policy as well as papers which place welfare
theory in relation to other sections of economic theory in a
penetrating and sophisticated manner.

essays by Franklin M. Fisher, Christopher Freeman, Peter
Groenewegen, Kelvin J. Lancaster, Martin Shubik and Gordon Tullock.
